Google hacking or Google dorking is a hacking technique that use Google search to find security holes in the code that website use. Dorks are keywords used to filter put desired results from Google database.
Now, I want to try the basic parameter that can be used. The goal is to see if the parameters are working.
site:
will show list out information from the website. For example, I tried
site:canva.com and there are lists of links from the website.
filetype:
will list out files with a particular type
In this example, I try to find a pdf file in the canva.com. It will list out pdf files in canva.com.
I click the first link and the pdf file is opened.
inurl:
will list out the URLs that have a particular word in it. This time I type inurl:templates and it will list out URLs that have the word ‘templates’ in it.
intext:
will list out sites with that have the particular word.
So, those are the basic parameter to google dorking and it worked.
